Let’s start with the intense eye contact. There are three instances when your dog might look at you in an unusual way. When they get scolded, when they’re pooping or they’re just watching you getting ready.The guilty look in a dog’s eyes is a response from an immediate or past negative reaction from the owner. They give those guilty eyes as they await a response. If your pooch is looking at you while they’re pooping – they’re looking for signs of danger.At that moment, they trust you to defend them. And the constant looking at you at home is just always being ready for affection, treats or food. A dog behavior expert Madeline Friedman toldThe Dodothat some dogs also might expect a reward for doing their business outside.

What about the crazy running around, back and forth either inside or outside? The “zoomies,” as professionals call them, are random bursts of hyperactivity. “They are bursts of energy like a volcano. Energy builds up then there is the expression and release of that energy,” Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist Jill Goldman, Ph.D., told theAmerican Kennel Club.

This next one is why most cats in cartoons look down on dogs as dumb – chasing their tail.

Our next category is the munchies. The first one on the menu – grass. Many owners might become concerned when their pet starts crunching the green stuff, but it’s not always a red flag. Dr. Leanne Jakubowsky, DVM toldBusiness Insiderthat dogs use grass as a purgative.Apparently, it helps them “clear out foreign bodies and parasites due to the high fiber content of grasses.” Some might also start eating it due to nutritional deficiencies, yet it’s less likely since dog food nowadays is well-balanced.

My Dog Thinks She Is Hidden

Some dogs like to munch on non-food items. Toilet paper, stuffed animals, homework – hardly anything is off limits. The behavior when dogs eat things that are not foods is called pica.PetMDwrites that the most common reasons behind it are mental:boredom, depression, anxiety or extreme hunger. It mostly occurs in high-energy breeds (like Labradors) who don’t get enough attention and exercise, and lack socialization with other dogs or humans.

The most extreme (and gross) case of pica is when a dog eats its own poop. Coprophagia is the medical term for it and is common with young puppies and nursing females. In fact, it’s pretty normal for dog moms – they ingest the stuff while cleaning their pup or stimulating their bowel movement.

The last one: splooting. It’s a funny resting position where a dog stretches their hind legs while lying down, resulting in a pretty comfortable position.Experts saythat it’s a way for doggos to stretch their hip muscles and relieve pressure on their lower and back hips. That’s especially true with older dogs.Another reason can be to cool off – the position exposes more of their skin. My beagle, for example, used to sploot on the cold tiled kitchen floor after coming back from long walks in the hot summer. So that one’s definitely true!
